CAPTURED VIDEO BURNED TO DVD - AUDIO NOT IN SYNC WITH VIDEO - HELP !

[kona1984]

I'm trying to transfer my vhs tapes to DVD. I will eventually want to copy some of my LP records to disc as well.

I have captured the vhs video tape, saved it and then rendered it in the process of making a DVD however the DVD audio and video are out-of-sync when I play the DVD back on my home DVD player. There is a what looks like a "tracking-line" at the bottom of the video when I'm capturing, rendering and when I play it back on the DVD as well. I tried the manual and auto tracking on my VCR but can't seem to get rid of that "giggly-tracking-line" at the bottom of the video (it's not very noticeable though). I have a good quality VCR - not a cheap one. I never tried anything fancy here - just saved the captured vhs tape and then went to my Leadtech Photostudio 8 software to burn it to a DVD.

I have Leadtech capture software (tv2000xp "expert") and Leadtech associated software that I'm using (for the first time) and a new MSI KP9 LSI Platinum board using AMD64 chip and lots of gigabytes and RAM - and on and on..............

Question?
What software works the best for this sort of thing - - and what can I do to make sure my video and audio are working together and maybe get rid of that "tracking-type-line" at the bottom of the video here?

You are dropping video frames. Your capping software is padding the capture file, so even though you have lots of dropped frames, the padding keeps it in sync. Once you author it, the padding is lost. Try editing the file in VideoReDo first, then author in Tmpgenc DVD Author and burn with it.

It's best to use a TBC or time base corrector when converting video tapes.

That "giggly-tracking-line" the bottom of the video is normal when capping from video tape.

If you don't want to edit the video, you can run it through VideoReDo's "Quick Stream Fix". This will fix things that are even worse than what is fixed by loading and saving (i.e., as in editing) the file. VideoReDo can also save the file as VOB or as elementary streams, either of which can speed up the authoring process, depending on your choice of authoring software.
